Re: CSX Train Location Updates: October, 2020.
Already late, short on time, but at least here, D70822 added more cars into the Ogihara run around and then departed for Brighton at 19:52 to put 69 cars for GLC into the pass there. By the time they return to Ann Pere, unknown what if anything will get done, pick up the 82 cars in the Howell pass,...

So intermodals 148 and 149 are now 146 and 147. In addition to this CN will extend intermodals 120 and 121 from Montreal through the...

Re: Rare day on the Ann Arbor
Sargeant Docks seems to be going gangbusters lately with all that agri and bulk traffic and it seems like the extra traffic benefits the AA and GLC along with the HESR. Its really neat to see the ports of saginaw and bay city with the rail to vessel traffic and vice versa.

Re: Domtar in Port Huron
Well LSRC could get a new customer when domtar vacates the property when they close the doors. And whats the possibility of the Lake States taking over the Marysville Branch should CSX decide to leave town?

Re: Wheeling and Lake Erie
The only one I know of for certain is a rock train out of Carey, that comes east through Greenwich at sunrise most mornings. I believe the freight shows up in Willard early in the morning and goes back east the next day. The rock business is so good that they will start shipping a unit train from C...

Re: The Future?
Only lines CN is divesting are in the UP and WI along with some in ONT. I haven't seen anything officially saying what they are divesting themselves of, so I'm still keeping open the possibility of at least one of their lines in the Detroit Area possibly going another direction. My two are the D&TS...

Re: The Future?
Per a post on facebook, the three grain elevators on the MMRR have stopped shipping and have gone to trucks because the G&W increased the pricing. So i see a GLC and Lake State operation very soon.

Re: Downriver/Wayne County operations
CN hasnt been running that way out of Flat Rock-Diann-Toledo since the beginning the pandemic. They are now routing that traffic to the NS at Oakwood Yard because its cheaper to handoff to NS there and operating down the Annie costs CN at least 500k each year.
